On Thursday night burglars made
raid on the residence Of Hon. D. c..
Goldman, carrying off about $1OO
worth of silver ware, consisting of tea
and table spoons, knives and forks,
pickle forks, sugar and cream spoons,
etc., and a fine pair of opera glasses.
The thieves were evidently good
judges of silver ware, as the plated
ware was left after being taken from
the house and examined. A silver tea
set, worth considerable more than all
the goods taken, was not molested, it
probably being too bulky to carry
without exciting suspicion. Entrance
to the house was gained by pryiDg up
window, and so quietly was the job
done that the family knew nothing
of their visitors until next morning.
The size of the footprints, which were
very plain in the heavy frost, show
that this was not boys job.
The same night an attempt was
made to open a window at Mr.. E. p
Brainerd's, but the burglars made
noise enough to awaken Mr.. and Mrs.
B., and left in time to miss the warm
